Project PHOENIX

[Bob Moseley (RIP)]

Hi all
Well despite all the intercepts, we made it home and completed another successfull border raid. However it was a close call when King Cop Keefy caught up with us at Leongatha but after I promised to deliver it to his place he allowed us to continue. HOWEVER WE LIED and after also duping Plushy we raced across the border and got her home.

We actually bought the Chev about three months ago after a lot of searching. Keefy knew about this truck and it features on his site but he must have forgotten about it. I must thank Colin Morley who gave me the heads up. The recovery was a two thousand kilometer round trip and this was the second time around as we did the recce three months ago and bought it. Since that time we had to buy and restore the Hino so we had a truck truck.

Anyway we now have all the componants for Phoenix apart from the diff, axle and plate assembly that Rob is holding for us (??). Hi Rob.

Next job is measuring and interpreting the wartime photographs to figure out and build the track sub-frames. This is where the expertise of Colin Jones comes into play with CAD programs and steel fabrication.

I'll keep you posted.

Bob
